by Sparkle HayterReporter Robin Hudson gets the scoop on a DOA OB/GYN in this &“hilarious, keenly written romp&” from the author of What&’s a Girl Gotta Do? (Entertainment Weekly). A nice girl like Robin Hudson never expected to find herself at an S&M club, but as a third-string reporter for a tabloid TV news show, she must pursue all the sleazy leads her jerk boss hurls her way with a smile on her face—at least on camera. But this time the story hits close to home. Robin&’s always thought a person has to be a little sadistic to become a gynecologist, but when her new OB/GYN is shot through the heart and handcuffed to his office chair, a matchbook from an S&M establishment is the only clue. Much to the delight of Robin&’s muckraking boss, the not-so-good doctor had his hands in all sorts of sordid activities. But Robin, on the other hand, is having a hard time whipping up any enthusiasm to interview the dominatrix who runs the club. It&’s also the worst time for her Bible-toting Aunt Mo to visit New York City—aka Sodom and Gomorrah—to set Robin on the straight and narrow. Aunt Mo is convinced the streets aren&’t safe—and maybe she&’s right. A sniper is taking potshots at anxious All News Network anchormen, and it&’s starting to look like the target practice is connected to the dead doc. Now, it&’s up to Robin to dodge the bullets—not to mention Aunt Mo—and get the killer in her sights. And then she needs to find a new gynecologist! Nice Girls Finish Last is &“a rollicking blend of deftly aimed satire and neatly plotted murder mystery&” from award-winning author and former CNN journalist Sparkle Hayter, winner of the Sherlock Award for Best Comic Detective as well as an Arthur Ellis Award for best first mystery novel (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Niceville: Roman (The\niceville Trilogy #Bk. 1)
by Carsten StroudNiceville es una de aquellas ciudades casi demasiado tranquilas hasta que desaparece un niño al salir del colegio y reaparece vivo dentro de una tumba antigua. Si no fuera por el acantilado gigantesco cuya sombra oscurece gran parte de la ciudad, Niceville sería uno de los lugares más bellos del sur de Estados Unidos. Este acantilado forma un muro inmenso cubierto de musgo y enredaderas, tan ancho y tan alto que existen casas donde no llega la luz del sol hasta después del mediodía. En la cima se encuentra un bosque espeso de árboles longevos y allí, justo en el centro, está lo que todos llaman el sumidero del cráter, siempre lleno de agua helada, oscura y, según la gente mayor, sin fondo. Sin embargo, a pesar de las sombras, la vida de Niceville es tranquila y apacible hasta que Rainey Teague, un niño de diez años, desaparece de la calle principal. Una cámara de seguridad capta el momento justo en el que se esfuma sin ninguna explicación. Pero esto es solo el comienzo.
